Grrrr!  I found the cutest blanket pattern, had green yarn to make it with, and thought I could do that.  It's really  one of the first patterns that I have wanted to start that night.  I get to within the last 4 rows of the first small block ( it was looking great) and as the KnitMore Girls would say. . . Knitting Attacked.  I missed understood a direction, tried to rip back a couple of rows, but could not get the first to stitches of that row to look right.  I gave up - (it's a 2.5" block) and thought I'll just start over.  After an hour of casting on 3 stitches and trying again, I have failed to get decent tension or something.  It just never looks right!   GRRRRR!

Shadow says to say she is very mad as well because the knitting took up my lap all night.  Even beside of me!  I am getting some angry looks right now.
